Just wondering if you've had a chance to read it yet, Frank? I'm almost done reading it and I see lots of similarities between the two of you. Especially towards your attitudes and philosophies about touring and writing songs. Chapter 39, Downtime, in particular had me thinking about you. Anyway, gr...

Was at last Thursday's show in Silver Spring with my wife. When Frank was singing Polaroid Picture, and the line "we won't all be here this time next year" came up, I lost it. We lost my wife's mother last February. A kinder, caring mother-in-law you could not ask for. First time cry at a concert.

Wow. What a night. Probably the best concert I've been to in decades. All 4 acts were outstanding. And Frank and the Souls... perfection. You guys just keep getting better. Highlights were the opening number (which I'm glad I recorded on my iPhone because it's needed today), the crowd surf by the gu...

No, I didn't know that. My daughter attends Towson, but she's home on break. Don't think I'll make it to Craig Finn. My wife and I will be at the Fillmore tomorrow. 4th time we've seen Frank together in the past 5 or 6 years. She said if it weren't for Frank, we'd never go out on a date. Been marrie...

Hi Frank. The wife and I just finished watching the BBC adaptation of Bernard Cornwell's "The Saxon Stories" and since it's about Wessex, my wife said we should ask Frank if he's seen it and what he thinks of it. Netflix has the second season coming out this year and we're looking forward to it. Had...

Frank, I don't know how you do it. You really do have a special kind of love with travel, the road and being up on stage. I live in Maryland and was introduced to your music in 2012. In 4 years, I've seen you 5 times. The January concert in Silver Spring will be number 6. I think I didn't make it to...

Great night! This was my 6th time seeing Frank and the guys and first time when they weren't headlining. I usually see him in Baltimore, but was visiting relatives in Michigan this week. Flogging Molly were great, my first show. And Chuck was amazing. Need to buy more of his music. I mentioned in an...

Yeah Kerr, I know. I don't think I've ever stayed to meet someone. I have when accompanying my daughter to one of her concerts. But then I'm just "the Dad". She's coming with me tonight to see Frank in Detroit. First time I've dragged her to a concert I wanted to go to.

Going to Saturday's concert in Detroit. Visiting relatives and I'm taking 2 sisters, my daughter and a nephew. This will be my 6th time seeing you Frank and hopefully my first time meeting you. How does that work at one of these outdoor venues? Do you visit the merch tent (if there is one) after you...

I'll recommend the guy Frank just did a short tour with, Jason Isbell. I only started listening to him because of the tour, and I immediately fell in love with both the lyrics and the music. I think "If It Takes A Lifetime" is a perfect tune (my opinion anyway).

I didn't realize this was out until I stumbled upon the Amazon page for it. It's called "Complicated Game - Inside the songs of XTC" by Andy Partridge and Todd Bernhardt. Very fascinating look at the beginnings of the "punk" movement in the late 70s and just basically insight into Andy Partridge and...
